The researcher seeks to develop a network of annually resolved, multi-century tree-ring records in tropical southern Africa in order to examine regional hydroclimatic variability. The research aims to explore whether a network of new tree-ring records from southern Africa can provide unique paleo-proxy data to help address a variety of questions about hydroclimatic variability, its causes, and impacts.The primary broader impacts involve collecting data from a poorly sampled region with potentially important insights into climate, supporting a U.S. graduate student, and helping build strong scientific ties with African scientists and students.

研究人员试图建立一个每年解析的、南部非洲热带地区的多世纪树木年轮记录网络，以检查区域水文气候变化。该研究旨在探索来自南部非洲的新树木年轮记录网络是否可以提供独特的古代理数据，以帮助解决有关水文气候变化、其原因和影响的各种问题。主要的更广泛的影响包括从样本不足的地区对气候有潜在的重要见解，支持美国研究生，并帮助与非洲科学家和学生建立牢固的科学联系。
